Closing Time - Export by Joseph Heller
A darkly comic and ambitious sequel to the American classic Catch-22. In Closing Time, Joseph Heller returns to the characters of Catch-22, now coming to the end of their lives and the century, as is the entire generation that fought in World War I: Yossarian and Milo Minderbinder, the chaplain, and such newcomers as little Sammy Singer and giant Lew, all linked, in an uneasy peace and old age, fighting not the Germans this time, but The End. Closing Time deftly satirizes the realities and the myths of America in the half century since WI: the absurdity of our politics, the decline of our society and our great cities, the greed and hypocrisy of our business and culture -- with the same ferocious humor as Catch-22.Closing Time is outrageously funny and totally serious, and as brilliant and successful as Catch-22 itself, a fun-house mirror that captures, at once grotesquely and accurately, the truth about ourselves.
Bobbi JG Weiss made her world debut one Christmas morning (cough-mutter-mutter) years ago, and as long as she can remember, she's wanted to be a writer. Why? She has no idea. Probably a birth defect. After several boring normal jobs, her writing wishes came true - she and her husband/partner David Cody Weiss began to make their living as full-time freelance writers, focusing on Hollywood tie-in merchandise like movie/TV novel adaptations, comics, and other related and often ridiculous products. After 20+ years of this, the WeissGuys decided to enter the wild world of self-publishing. You can find more information about Bobbi, her many published books, her life, and her weird husband at bobbijgweiss.com. She also posts on Twitter, tumblr, Pinterest and Facebook unless her passwords mysteriously stop working and she can't get on, which seems to happen a lot. Why? She has no idea. Probably computer voodoo.
